Lu Qing spent 300 Karma and obtained the “Core Lifespan Recovery” that had appeared in his exchange tab five years ago.

He could still hear Lu Mingchao’s weeps from time to time. However, at this moment, Lu Chaoxi shouted with surprise.

“This, this, this... What’s going on? I feel like I’m fine now? I...”

He was blabbering.

“Chaoxi, I didn’t allow you to die, so you won’t be able to die.” Lu Qing’s voice rang out at the appropriate time.

“Father... Thank you, Father!” Lu Chaoxi knelt outside the chamber and sincerely kowtowed.

Lu Mingchao and Lu Chaohe, who was standing beside him, were confused. They did not know what was happening before their eyes for the time being.

“Stand up, Chaoxi. You still have at least 60 years of life left. You still have 60 years to fight for the clan. Don’t think of leaving this world that quickly.”

“I will not let you down, Father!”

“Yes, you are the clan leader. You have to lead the development of the clan.”

No matter how slow Mingchao and Chaohe were, they could infer what was going on from the conversation between their elder brother and father.

“Elder Brother, your Core Lifespan has recovered?” Lu Chaohe’s tone was filled with a shred of disbelief.

The situation was too ridiculous.

There were only two ways for a cultivator to recover from severe damage to their Core Lifespan. The first was to receive appropriate treatment the moment they were injured and deal with the problem at its roots.

Unfortunately, Lu Chaoxi had not been able to do that. During the demon uprising, Lu Chaoxi did not receive any treatment after he sustained a severe injury. Instead, he forcefully used his spiritual strength and continued to fight the demonic cultivators. He fought hard until he nearly depleted his spiritual strength. That was why he was left with a severe injury.

Under such a situation, he would have to depend on a few extremely valuable recovery elixirs if he wanted to recover.

All of the elixirs that could aid in the recovery of a cultivator’s Core Lifespan were extremely precious. They all involved tens of thousands of Spirit Stones. They were extremely expensive, and even then, there was no guarantee that they could purchase it.

It would not have been that hard for the siblings to accept the current situation if their father had something like that. After all, their father had spent nearly all of the clan’s reserve when he engaged in closed-door training 60 years ago and purchased several healing medicines. It was expected if he had a few that he had not used.

In reality, they had guessed that that was what happened when Lu Chaoxi’s old injury suddenly recovered ten years ago.

However, the current scene was outside the limits of their imagination.

Their father had not done anything, nor did their elder brother. They had just been standing there and conversing, yet his Core Lifespan had recovered?

Mingchao, who still had traces of tears on her face, met the eyes of her seventh brother. She could see the shock in his eyes.

“Father, your methods are becoming more and more brilliant...”

Lu Qing’s voice came again from inside the chamber. “All right, let’s not mention this anymore. Did you say something about a Foundation Building Elixir? Chaoxi did battle? What’s going? Tell me about it.”

“Yes.” Lu Chaoxi stood up and started telling his father about how they traded the recipe of the Foundation Building Elixir for an actual Foundation Building Elixir at Anling City three years ago.

He then talked about how they dealt with the Tiger King and exterminated the horde of Steel Red Bugs and also the changes to the clan over the years.

After he listened to the reports, Lu Qing sighed and said, “It’s been hard on all of you, but you’ve all done well these years.”

“Father, there’s one thing that you have to decide on.”

“What?”

“The Foundation Building Elixir. It still remains unused in the clan. However, it is hard for us to decide who best to use it on. Please give us a few pointers.”

Then, Lu Chaoxi introduced Lu Qing to the situation.

They had to use the Foundation Building Elixir that they spent a great deal of effort obtaining. However, who to use the elixir on was a problem.

There were more than a few ninth-tier Qi Refining cultivators in the clan. However, most of them were above the age of 60.

They did not have to consider these older cultivators. The bodies of cultivators over the age of 60 were already in decline. Even with the support from the Foundation Building Elixir, the probability of them advancing to the Foundation Building Stage was extremely low.

There were not many ninth-tier Qi Refining cultivators under the age of 60.

Among them, there are only two leading candidates, Lu Xueting and Lu Mingling.

Lu Xueting was 55. She was a seventh-tier Qi Refining cultivator ten years ago and had reached the ninth tier in these ten years. She was also the clan’s Beast Tamer with abilities at Level Two high-grade. She was a cultivator with three Spiritual Root-Wood, Earth, and Metal.

She had contributed much to the family over the past ten years. She had participated in the capture of the herd of Water-Spirit Horses, and she was also the one nurturing the herd of horses and was doing better and better. Currently, the Lu Clan’s herd of Water-Spirit Horses had already gained a bit of fame in Pingyao County. Several merchant groups from out of town would even borrow these spiritual beasts as a form of transportation. The occasional foal that was born could even be sold for a large sum of Spirit Stones.

Furthermore, four years ago, she had also been the one to save and tame the Steel Red Bug queen that Lu Mingchao had caught. Now, the horde of bugs was producing a stable supply of “Red Fire Steel” and was a decent source of income. It was also another of the clan’s steady source of supply for forging materials.

Of course, she was not the one who had contributed the most to the clan over the past five years. That title belonged to Chaoxi, Chaohe, and Mingchao. However, if they were talking about the candidates who were most worthy of receiving the Foundation Building Elixir, then Lu Xueting’s contributions to the clan were definitely the greatest. She had done the most for the clan.

The other main candidate was Lu Mingling.

He had also contributed to the clan over the years. For example, he was stationed at the Energy Stone Mine. However, his contributions paled in comparison to Lu Xueting’s.

Despite that, Lu Mingling’s talents were much better than Lu Xueting’s. While it might not have been exceptional when he entered the Qi Refining Stage at the age of 15, he was only 40 years old now. He had already become an eighth-tier Qi Refining cultivator with just 25 years worth of cultivation. Furthermore, he had exceptional perceptual abilities and had a good understanding of the techniques he was cultivating. Even though he was only a cultivator with three Spiritual Roots, he rarely encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation.

More importantly, Lu Mingling was also a cultivator who had a Lightning Spiritual Root. The Lightning Spirit Root was even the main Spiritual Root out of his three Spiritual Roots. The technique he cultivated was one of the marvelous-grade techniques that the clan had-the Bright Yang Lightning Ceremony.

Lightning-element cultivators had an obvious advantage in battle when they grew up. Cultivators who cultivated Lightning Elemental Techniques would often have a significant advantage in a fight against cultivators at the same level as them, provided that they had about the same number of equipment and consumables.

Lu Mingling’s future was a little brighter than Lu Xueting’s. He would also become more powerful in the future.

Having a Foundation Building Elixir did not just mean that there would be another Foundation Building cultivator in the clan. If that were the case, the value of the Foundation Building Elixir would not be propped up to such a high level.

What the Foundation Building Elixir represented were the possibilities that arose for a cultivator on their path of cultivation. What they became in the future might not be limited to a Foundation Building cultivator.

Even in the Qingfeng Sect, there was only one in a hundred cultivators that would make it from the Qi Refining Stage to the Foundation Building Stage. Among the unaffiliated cultivators, there might not even be a cultivator who could make it to the Foundation Building Stage out of tens of thousands of Qi Refining cultivators.

However, there would be five to eight Foundation Building cultivators who could make it to the Initial Enlightenment Stage. The chances were much greater than when they were trying to advance to the Foundation Building Stage.
